I run but always trip.
I try but always fail.
I try to talk but no words come out.
I try,
I can never get it right.
Voices all around,
Yet no sound.
Familiar faces everywhere,
Yet all strangers.
I see but don't understand.
All of these people,
They walk, talk, and hear.
I walk without moving,
I talk without making a sound,
I hear without listening.
All alone,
Yet people all around.
Depression.
